Statement by Mandatum Group CEO Petri Niemisvirta:
“In spite of a difficult investment market, the first half of 2022 was successful for Mandatum on a number of fronts. The company’s solvency ratio continued to improve thanks to the dramatic rise in interest rates, among other factors, and our strong solvency position provided the company with an excellent foundation for our operations in an uncertain market environment.
In the first half-year, net subscriptions for customer assets were positive despite the market situation. Fundraising for asset management products succeeded in line with targets.
The sale of risk insurance especially to companies was successful. As an example, Mandatum concluded its largest ever risk insurance deal for the entire Finnish personnel of a major company.
The continued improvement in customer satisfaction during the first half of the year is an indication that we are on the right track in managing customer relationships. Personnel satisfaction has also remained strong. The results of the Siqni personnel survey, conducted at Mandatum for the first time, show that the factors that employees consider the most significant are achieved in the work community. The employees’ net promoter score (eNPS) was 55 in Mandatum’s survey, which is excellent. Mandatum earned the Future Workplaces certificate in the survey for its proven highly rated employee experience,” says Petri Niemisvirta, CEO of Mandatum Group.
